Anyone is free to join the advanced class when they feel comfortable in doing so. We recommend that everyone start in the intro class to get the feel and atmosphere of the gym. The advanced class moves at a little faster pace and the technique is more advanced. The advanced class also includes sparring and live wrestling and some people need some time to get used to it.

Everyone’s life is different. I personally put a very high value on being able to defend myself and the ones I care about as well as being physically fit. You will always make time for the things that you place value on. Our classes are very organized and structured so that the time that you spend here will be dedicated to your training.
